Installing the RSP4+
Installing the RSP4+
Follow the steps below to reinstall the RSP4+ that was removed.
Step 1
Hold the RSP4+ handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support the
RSP4+ and guide it into the slot. (See Figure 2.) Avoid touching the card or any connector pins.
Caution
To prevent ESD damage, handle the RSP4+ by the handles and carrier edges only.
Step 2
Place the back of the RSP4+ in the slot and align the notch on the carrier with the groove in the slot.
(See Figure 1.)
Step 3
While keeping the RSP4+ parallel to the backplane, carefully slide it into the slot until the back of the
faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, and then stop. (See b in Figure 1.)
Caution
Use the ejector levers to remove or install the RSP4+. Failure to do so can cause erroneous
system error messages indicating a board failure.
Step 4
Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until the RSP4+ is pushed entirely
into its slot. (See c in Figure 1.)
Step 5
Tighten both captive installation screws.
Step 6
Reconnect the cables to the RSP4+.
This completes installation procedure.
